4 reviews for Subway of Fenway
Everything here is more or less $1 more than every other Subway in the area (even the much frequented one in the Theater District). Okay, I get it, you're by Fenway Park.. but c'monnn. On the flipside, it makes the $5 foot long an even better deal than it usually is (otherwise you save like 20 cents if you're getting the veggie delite), so ask them to wrap that other half and eat it for dinner!
A couple quirks about this Subway.. about every other time I've come in.. they've run out of something. Not something I ever want since I usually get the veggie sandwich and they'd have to run out of vegetables to eff that up, but there's usually one thing missing (certain chicken styles or meat cuts). Their chip selection is gross (IE - most of the time it's just Fritos) which I kind of find unacceptable considering their push for the "fit" meal that includes baked chips for adults AND kids. Service during the weekdays is as fast as it can be with two sandwich makers who are also ringing up orders. I give them props for handling the lines.. but hey management.. throw them a bone! I mean you ARE charging more than the other Subways in the area. Other quirks worth mentioning include: being overcharged for the meals (hey 20-50 cent overcharges adds up over time.. think about the economy!) and the soda pumps being hooked up incorrectly (as in.. if it tastes like coke.. even if it's coming out of a diet coke pump.. it's probably coke).
This place usually isn't a clusterf*ck when I go... like all these things don't happen at once.. but something always happens. Then again.. could just be me and my Eeyore like rain cloud that occasionally follows me to restaurants.
This place is bright and relatively clean. Like I said.. there are two workers most of the time but people usually clean up after themselves. The sitting area is spacious.. this Subway is probably the biggest I've been to around Boston. There's even a bathroom, but I haven't used it yet (nor will I ever considering the other things they skimp on.. hint).
This has to be the worst Subway that I have ever been to. I have tried to give it a couple chances to see if maybe I went on a bad day. Every single time I go they are out of something. It generally isn't just 1 item either. The most recent time I went, they were out of ham, meatballs, cucumbers, and tomatoes. On previous vists they have had signs up 10 items deep that they didn't have anymore of. How hard is it to stock items that probably last years in refrigeration?
I asked if I could be charged $5 for the turkey because for some reason it isn't on the $5 footlong menu, and I went in wanting a ham sandwich. The guy behind the counter said sure, but they failed to actually charge me correctly, and I ended up pay $16.50 for 2 footlong sandwiches. This place is a joke, and makes other subways look much better than they really are. Do yourself a favor, and stay away, try one of the other sandwich places in the area.
This is my favorite Subway in Boston. I am quite the picky sammich eater and Subway is my favorite shop for sandwiches and this is my favorite one in Boston.
First, it is actually a restaurant. You can sit in there and it has nice decorations and it is never crowded and it's clean and they have a bathroom. These are all high on my list of must-haves when you go eat somewhere. Do you hear that other Subway sandwich shops? Are you drunk?
Second, the bread is never dry here. You can come during the early morning hours when they sell sandwiches on your way to work...or at least they used to...I think they still do, or during lunch rush, or later at night and the bread is always moist and freshly baked and they are seldom out of the main breads...like Italian Herbs and Cheese.
The veggies here are always fresh and they don't skimp. The meat is pretty normal...it's hard to mess that up.
This is the only Subway in Boston that doesn't over fry cook their cookies. I don't know how many people can get it so wrong. Day one...cookies are burnt. Day two.... cook them a little less. Dont' keep cooking them the same length because that's what it says on the package of frozen cookie lumps. Geesh.
Also the sodas here are using not stale which is hard to do in a high traffic Subway or other kind of fast food shop.
It's subway. Presumably you've all been there by now, so any review I can offer won't be particularly earth-shattering. It'll fill you up for cheap, but the food's nothing exciting.
If you eat meat, then you've either got cold cuts or some reheated steak-umms and processed chicken. If you don't eat meat, and they're out of the veggie patty (which happens quite regularly), then you're more or less up shit creek without a paddle.
